expected it to be created - appropriately for the target platform - as

Indeed, as Dick has seen. Thanks.
I am rather tempted to simply no longer support sparc-linux instead of
spending lots more time debugging it. Unless someone else here has
sparc-linux and wants to try it. I've never seen any particular
evidence that are any actual users writing documents on sparc-linux (as
opposed to just sysadmins installing it).
